Policy makers may confront numerous questions about shootings such
as the December 2012 incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, CT, that claimed 27 lives (not including the shooter).
Foremost, what are the parameters of this threat? How should it be
defined?
There is no broadly agreed-to, specific conceptualization of this
issue, so this report uses its own definition for public mass
shootings. These are incidents occurring in relatively public
places, involving four or more deaths—not including the
shooter(s)—and gunmen who select victims somewhat
indiscriminately. The violence in these cases is not a means to an
end—the gunmen do not pursue criminal profit or kill in the
name of terrorist ideologies, for example.
One Measure of the Death Toll Exacted by Public Mass Shootings.
Applying this understanding of the issue, the Congressional
Research Service (CRS) has identified 78 public mass shootings that
have occurred in the United States since 1983. This suggests the
scale of this threat and is intended as a thorough review of the
phenomenon but should not be characterized as exhaustive or
definitive. According to CRS estimates, over the last three decades
public mass shootings have claimed 547 lives and led to an
additional 476 injured victims.'Larsen, Niels Ivar: Marinesoldater myrder civile irakere.
